- Power company announces an important decision
CTCP Nhiệt điện Quảng Ninh (QTP) says its board approved the EPC contract for package 05 of its flue gas treatment upgrade project, signed with the SEC-Pacific joint venture of Shanghai Electric Group and CTCP Tập đoàn Thái Bình Dương on a fixed-price basis. The contract is worth over 89.75 million USD and nearly 902 billion VND, about 3,271 billion VND in total, with 38 months to complete. SEC-Pacific was the only bidder to pass technical evaluation, as rival CISDI failed to reach the minimum score. The company has also appointed two deputy general directors this year, Nguyễn Công Kiên from 12/8/2026 and Dương Thành Công from 16/10/2026, after former board member Lê Việt Cường was arrested in February 2026 over alleged forgery of documents.

- Deputy PM Calls for Removing Obstacles to 1,500 MW LNG Power Project in Thanh Hoa
Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Tuc asked Thanh Hoa province, ministries and Cong Thanh LNG Power JSC to clear obstacles and consider early operation of the 1,500 MW Cong Thanh LNG power plant, expected to run in 2031-2035. The project began in 2011 as a 600 MW coal plant and stalled for nearly 11 years over financing; Thanh Hoa proposed switching to LNG in July 2022, and the change was added to Power Master Plan VIII in April 2025. Outstanding issues include an investment certificate that still needs to be changed from 600 MW to 1,500 MW and a port that lacks space for LNG facilities at safe distances, so the investor has proposed expanding the wharf. The Deputy PM asked the investor to complete procedures and prove financial capacity, use existing infrastructure under planning, and set clear milestones with defined responsibilities.
- Ministry of Industry and Trade Proposes Early Rollout of 5-Tier Residential Electricity Pricing
The Ministry of Industry and Trade proposes amending Decision 14/2025 so the five-tier residential electricity price schedule can take effect early, instead of waiting for the next average retail price adjustment, because a transitional clause currently keeps the six-tier structure. According to the ministry, about 94% of households would pay less, with those using around 400 kWh a month saving about 3.6%, while a customer using 1,182 kWh a month would pay nearly VND 190,000 more. The average price stays at VND 2,204.07 per kWh, and electricity prices have not been adjusted since mid-2025. The ministry also seeks early application of the new schedules for EV charging stations and tourist accommodation, as well as the peak and off-peak hours under Decision 963/2026, which have not yet been implemented.

All three face criminal charges over a case involving EVNNPT, PC1 Group and related units, with 48 suspects according to the Ministry of Public Security’s October 1 announcement, which did not specify charges for each TV3 executive. The board will propose that an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting on November 5, 2026 remove Tuấn and Phước as board members and elect one additional member. The board also approved 22 contracts signed in Q3 2026 worth VND 114.4 billion and approved about 22 more contracts in Q4, estimated at VND 100 billion.
- Petronas wants to bring Vietnamese offshore wind power to Malaysia and Singapore
Malaysia's national oil company Petronas wants to help develop a project that would carry Vietnam's offshore wind power through Malaysia to Singapore under the VMS (Vietnam-Malaysia-Singapore) project. Petronas Vietnam representative Aimy Zairin Mohamed said the project aims to link Vietnam's clean power with regional markets and could become a pioneering model for the ASEAN Power Grid. Vietnam's wind resource could exceed 400 GW, and the planned route would send power by undersea cable to Malaysia, connect it to the local grid, then onward to Singapore. The four partners are Petronas (coordinator), Tenaga Nasional Berhad, PVS and Sembcorp Utilities of Singapore. Petronas, present in Vietnam for 35 years, will also work with PetroVietnam on domestic oil and gas, LNG imports and renewables, aiming to balance energy security, affordability and sustainability.

- Jobless claims near the lowest since the 1960s as low-fire trend continues
Employers are holding on to workers even as hiring stays weak, pushing seasonally adjusted initial jobless claims to 194,000 for the week ending Oct. 17, close to the 189,000 reported for the week of July 18, which was the lowest since the late 1960s. Claims have averaged 212,000 over the past year, and the four-week moving average has fallen to 197,750. The labor market backdrop remains uncertain: nonfarm payrolls rose only 29,000 in September and have averaged 69,000 a month in 2026, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, largely due to a sharp jump in labor force participation. Layoffs remain modest, falling by 61,000 in August, and the layoff rate fell to 1% over the prior 12 months. Ahead of the Federal Reserve's decision next week, policymakers describe the labor market as generally strong and are focused on inflation, which remains well above the 2% target; markets expect the Fed to hold in October and then raise rates by a quarter point in December.
- Temporary Delays in siRNA Manufacturing Mask Codexis' (CDXS) High-Option Value
In its Q3 2026 investor letter, White Brook Capital highlighted Codexis (NASDAQ:CDXS), which makes enzymes used to manufacture siRNA-based medicines, and said the stock holds call options with favorable payouts. On October 21, 2026, the stock closed at $1.29 with a market capitalization of $141.26 million, down 20.86% year to date and trading within a 52-week range of $0.96 to $2.98. However, 2026 has been marked by delays: three CDMO partners, Bachem, Nitto Denko Avecia and Axolabs, were signed early in the year, but only one has completed its technology evaluation, and long-term contract negotiations are still ongoing. Permitting delays have also hit its GMP-standard standalone facility, which is now scheduled to start production at year-end 2027, and the target for half-kilogram siRNA batches has moved to the end of this year or early next year.
- Evaluating CareCloud's (CCLD) Short-Term Integration Friction vs. Long-Term Margin Expansion
On October 21, 2026, CareCloud (NASDAQ:CCLD), a healthcare IT company providing billing, medical-records and AI software, closed at $1.77 with a $75.21 million market cap, down 39.38% year to date. In its Q3 2026 investor letter, White Brook Capital said the market's frustration stems from declining profits as the company integrates acquisitions. Second-quarter revenue grew 16%, but net income fell to just $1.1 million due to merger costs, heavier AI spending and interest on new debt, and a March cyberattack added to the strain; management expects insurance to cover the costs, though this shook investor confidence. The company also retired the preferred stock White Brook previously held in May, saving about $3.3 million annually, and management expects a stronger second half than first. At roughly eight times the midpoint of management's 2026 GAAP EPS guidance, White Brook sees double-digit revenue growth at a modest multiple, with additional upside if integration improves margins.
- VIX Securities Still Holds VND 1,000 Billion of Undisbursed Capital from Share Offering

Over 5,013 billion VND each was disbursed to proprietary investment and margin lending from April 22 to May 26, 2026, but the 1,000 billion VND earmarked to contribute capital to VIX's digital asset trading exchange had not been disbursed as of October 20, 2026. In Q3 2026, pre-tax profit fell nearly 94% year on year to 192 billion VND, with revenue down 36% to 2,047 billion VND and proprietary trading booking a net loss of 94 billion VND. For the first nine months, revenue fell 18% to 5,050 billion VND and pre-tax profit dropped nearly 92% to about 424 billion VND, mainly due to proprietary trading losses, leaving VIX at 12.1% of its 3,500 billion VND full-year pre-tax target. Total assets rose 16.6% to nearly 39,860 billion VND by September 30, 2026, while margin loans fell from 15,380 billion VND to 12,422 billion VND.
- Chip stocks fall as equipment maker Lam Research cites 'supply chain constraints'
Semiconductor stocks fell in premarket trading Thursday after Lam Research, a major wafer equipment supplier, cited near-term supply chain constraints on its earnings call.

The PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOXX) was set to open down 4%, with Nvidia and Qualcomm down more than 2%, Marvell down 4%, Intel down 5%, Broadcom down more than 3%, Applied Materials down 6% and ASML down 3%. Semiconductor stocks have been volatile as concerns over AI funding weigh on the sector, while surging oil prices raised expectations that the Fed may keep tightening monetary policy this year.
- VN-Index rises another 22 points, reaching highest level in over half a year
The VN-Index closed at 1,761 points, up 22 points, on trading volume of more than 672 million shares worth about 15,300 billion VND. On HoSE, 149 stocks rose, 167 fell and 57 were unchanged. Foreign investors net bought nearly 342 billion VND on HoSE, led by VIC (over 239 billion VND), TCB and VHM, while FPT saw the largest net selling at over 264 billion VND. ASEAN Securities said the index shows a technical rebound signal with buyers temporarily in control, but the market remains neutral because the index has not broken above the MA20 and indicators are not yet uniformly confirmed, so it may trade in a narrow range.
